There are many reasons why a vessel may require a survey and we’re able to provide a bespoke service specific to a customer’s needs. We are able to carry out and organize a variety of marine surveys worldwide providing an unparalleled level of service at a transparent cost. We are experienced and professionally trained to locate issues which a typical boat owner may oversee.
If you are buying a boat, of any size, Motor/power boats, Sailing boats, 3m RIB to a Princess Yacht 40m, Sailing Yacht Perini of 50 m or any kind of Super Yachts you should get a Survey to make sure you know about defects, so you can make an informed decision. By now I surveyed about 1000 various boats, GRP, Wood, Steel and Aluminum.
Company A.B. INSPECT looks at every boat in great detail and reports to you in plain English (we refer to this as a pre-purchase boat survey).Through proven practices we will methodically inspect a vessel resulting in a comprehensive written report outlining our visual and scientific findings. Our reports are always unbiased, providing factual evidence supported with photographic images and constructive conclusions.
A.B. INSPECT is providing service around whole world. We are at disposal for surveys in Italy, Montenegro, Slovenia, France in 24 hours and on request on every place in the world. Company is covered with professional indemnity insurance.
If you decide not to conduct a survey then you may find at a later date serious issues which could prove costly and also risk the safety of yourself and other individuals onboard. The overall purpose of the majority of surveys is to receive an assessment on whether the vessel is safe to use for its proposed activity and whether maintenance or repairs are required immediately or in the near future.
Don’t forget the boat surveyor’s job is to represent YOU when buying your yacht, and with over a 500 satisfied customers, you can rest assured that is exactly what A.B. INSPECT is doing for you.
What we do
Scope
Sailing Yacht Surveys
We carry out all types of surveys, the most popular is pre-purchase. Buying a boat is an exciting time and you must have a clear picture. Our role is to assist you in the purchase, look at the boat without the rose tinted specs and help you deciding if you want to proceed with the purchase, bearing in mind the valuation and condition of the boat that you are considering.
Motor/Power Boats
Whether this is your first yacht or 5th we will follow the proven BMSE logical method using common professional practice and where available published guidelines or codes, such as those published by the International Institute of Marine Surveying and report in plain English our findings and help you as much as you need us.
Survey Limitations
However thorough the marine surveyors are, there are certain limitations to every survey.
Do discuss with us as we are very flexible and can normally accommodate whatever you want.
If you want a full inventory check or mast down survey, or engine detail surveys please ask.
Our equipment
We use professional and very sophisticated equipment.
These are examples of some of the equipment used by us when conducting surveys and inspections:
Pre-Delivery
A pre-delivery inspection provides the owner with a professional assessment of the build before final acceptance, we will verify that the vessel is completed to the agreed specification and that works have been finished to the expected standard.
Insurance
Insurers will often insure a production yacht on face value but it is sometimes the case that an insurer requires a surveyors report to issue an appropriate policy and calculate an accurate premium.
